Still like that old time Rock N Roll - The kinda of music just soothes the soul...

About Me

I retired in 2009 from my full time job, but work 3 mornings per week - about 8-9 hours per week. I am married to the most wonderful man (he is retired from the Army after 22 years) and he is currently a Correctional Officer. I have a very handsome son, beautiful daughter-in-law and a very adorable and charming grandson. (Oh and I have 2 fur babies - cats). I'm fairly new to crafting, but enjoy making cards in my spare time.
